Jeremiah23:23

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off ?

Atheisme is generally the foundation of ill Life, men say, God sees them not, the Almighty doth not regard them. By a God at hand many understand Heaven, do you think that my eyes are limited like yours, that I cannot see their practices though far off from me? that is from the place of my glorious Residence. Others interpret the particle with respect to time; Am I a God of Yesterday, like the Idols, am not I the ancient of dayes? the Eternal God whose Majesty and Omniscience, you ought to have taken notice of?
